Alternate Ending
Hey. I wrote this today but had the idea when writing The Bracelet.
Don't read if you can't handle character death.
If you can, Enjoy!
Isabella cried until she had no more tears. She looked up from her pillow and looked into the mirror. She was a mess. She had been since he passed. She knew she needed to clean up. She just didn't know if she could. She got up and put on her dress. She walked out of her house and to the graveyard. "Why did this happen? Why him?" That morning had been so normal.
Two days ago, in the Flynn-Fletcher backyard, My POV
Everybody was screaming. We all thought Phineas was going to die. It was so scary. He was falling from the top of the tower. I would so have teleported up there; except for the flaws in that plan were a few. The first one was I was too in shock to do anything. The second was I have no upper-body strength.
It felt like something was supposed to happen then. Something that was going to make everything better. But it didn't. Phineas kept falling. His eyes were wide and his mouth was open. Why did it still feel like something should have happened?
Phineas was nearing the ground and I realized he was screaming.
"Help!"
We all ran over as fast as we could, but it was too late. He back hit the ground with a sickening crack. I noticed Candace had left the yard to get their mom. I heard Isabella cry out behind me and noticed the oldest Flynns weren't going to be back in the yard for a while.
"Candace, honey, I have to get the frozens inside, then I'll come out." I heard Linda say.
"No time for that. You have to come out, now." I stated.
"Not you too. I'm sure whatever the boys built will be there in a couple minutes."
"But the boys built another giant tower." Candace complained.
"Talk to me when you have something serious to say." Linda replied.
"I have something serious." I said with tears in my eyes.
"What?" Linda asked.
"Candace was right." Linda rolled her eyes. "But what she didn't see was Phineas falling off of the top." Candace's eyes widened. "I think his back is broken."
Linda dropped the bags she was holding and ran into the backyard.
"Are you serious, or did you just saying that to get my mom out?" Candace asked, tears forming.
"First one." Candace fell over in tears.
I walked through the open gate. Linda was crying over Phineas and starting to pick him up.
"We need to get him to the hospital as soon as we can." Linda said.
"But the nearest one is 20 minutes away." Gretchen pointed out.
Everyone looked at me. "Hand him to me." I commanded.
Linda looked at me like I was crazy. "Trust me." She handed me Phineas and I teleported.
I appeared in the lobby of the ER. I ran over to the front desk.
"Help him! Please!" I shouted to the woman there. A bunch of doctors ran in and loaded him onto a gurney.
"What happened?" the woman asked.
"He and his friends were building a tower, when a giant plane came, and the plane had a kidnapper in it, and he missed, and Phineas fell." I explained.
"What really happened?" Oh great, now I have to explain everything.
Back at the backyard, Isabella's POV
We all watched as Bella teleported away with Phineas.
"How did she do that?" Linda asked.
"We'll explain on the way to the hospital." Ferb said.
Everyone stared at him.
"Let's go."
We loaded into the car. In the twenty minutes, we explained everything to Phineas and Ferb's mom.
Before the car was all the way parked, we jumped out. We took off running as fast as we could towards the ER.
When we got in, the first thing I saw was Bella crying. Ferb walked over to her.
"Don't worry, he'll be ok. The doctor's will help him." He said, trying to calm her down.
"No he won't!" She called.
"Why would you say that?" I asked.
"I went in the future. You were at his gravestone. It said he died today." She started crying again.
"The future's not set in stone." Ferb stated.
"Maybe." Bella mumbled.
Just then a doctor walked out. He looked at us and then to Bella.
"You guys here for Phineas Flynn?" He asked.
We all nodded.
"Well, his back is broken. He's not paralyzed, but he has to go into surgery." Linda nodded and filled out some forms he gave her. When she gave them back, he nodded and left.
Bella started tapping her feet in some sort of rhythm. I didn't recognize it, but it was obvious Perry and Ferb did. Then music started playing. I remembered something Bella said the first time that happened to her. "I love this universe!" I smiled.
Bella, Perry, Ferb started singing.
Perry: Oh Yeah!
Bella: Now me and my bro, we're takin' care of things
Went from a pair of jokers to a couple of kings
It goes to show you never know just what a shuffle brings
Me and my bro, we're takin' care of things
Ferb: That's right, we're bros, we're brothers, different father and mother
But don't you dis or slam or slide us, we look after one another
Cause we're thicker than thieves and we're cooler than kings
Oh man, you better believe, we're takin' care of things.
Bella: I'll tell you up front that I've got your back
And I know that you've got mine
As long as we stick together side by side
Yo, bro, it's gonna turn out fine
Yo, bro, it's gonna turn out fine
Bella and Ferb: Now me and my bro, we're takin' care of things
Went from a pair of jokers to a couple of kings
It goes to show you never know just what a shuffle brings
Me and my bro, we're takin' care of things
Then all three of them started laughing.
"I don't even know that song but it made me feel a little better." I said smiling.
"Good." Bella said. Then she turned serious again and that was the last time I've seen her sing.
A few hours later a doctor came out. "The surgery is done. He should make it. You can come in and visit him. But not all at once."
Bella sat still and looked at the other Flynn-Fletchers. They all stood up and went into his room. I couldn't hear anything, but Ferb stayed in.
"Phineas said when he wants to see you two with Ferb." Lawrence explained.
We nodded and walked into his room.
"Well, hello girls. How nice of you to join us." We smiled. So did he.
"How ya feeling? Aint feelin' too bad?" Bella asked. Ferb flinched.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Ferb hates the word aint." Phineas and Bella answered at the same time.
"Actually I do too. I just said it because Ferb hates it." Bella confessed.
Ferb raised an eyebrow and Bella laughed. Weird.
"I actually feel ok." Phineas answered.
"That's really good." I said.
"Yeah."
The door opened. "Visiting hours are over. You need to go home now. You can come back tomorrow."
We all nodded and walked out.
The next day we came back in and this time Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher only went in for a second.
"Phineas wants to talk to you two." Mumbling came from behind his door. "You three." She corrected.
Perry was already in the room. I'm guessing he was the third person.
"Hey Phin." I greeted.
He looked up from Perry. "Hey Izzie."
I smiled. He didn't notice what he called me until two seconds after he did. He smiled.
"Hey Ferb." He said.
"You wanted to talk to us about something?" I asked, trying to see what he wanted to talk about.
"Or we are so awesome he couldn't stand to be away from us." Bella guessed behind me. I jumped.
"How long have you been there?" I asked.
She smiled. "Whole time." Phineas answered.
"Really?" Everyone nodded.
"What did you want to talk about? Really."
"I don't feel good." He laid down and looked at the roof.
"You probably don't. You broke your back yesterday." I said.
"Not that way." Phineas shook his head.
I sat on the bed next to him. "Then in what way?"
"In a really bad way." He looked a little paler.
"Ok. What does that mean?" I asked worried.
"Izzie, I don't know if I can make it." Phineas' voice had started getting softer.
"Phineas, you can make it. You will make it." Phineas opened his mouth and I interrupted him. "You can do anything."
"I don't think I can this time." His voice was getting fainter.
"No. You're not leaving."
"It's not like we'll never see each other again."
I thought I heard the door. I straightened up and Phineas smiled slightly. "Bella and Ferb left." He explained.
"You can't leave." A tear strolled down my face.
Phineas wiped it away with his thumb. "Don't cry."
He sat up and held his arms out. I hugged him and put my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me and gave a weak squeeze.
He pulled back and I looked at him. He looked so weak, another tear found itself out of my eyes. I looked down.
"Please don't cry." I looked at him again and found myself drawn to him.
When our lips touched, I noticed how cold his were. We pulled away and he smiled.
"You'll be ok." He stated quietly.
"Not without you." He shook his head.
"Yes you will. And I'll still be watching. I'll still be here for you."
He laid down again. I grabbed his hand.
"You can't. You keep us happy when we feel down. You keep us positive when we're looking down. You're the optimistic one."
"You can do that. You can be the positive one. You can pick people up when their down. You can be the one that people from going insane from Bella's comments." Phineas told me.
A head popped in through the door. "Hey. That's not your job."
"You don't know what I say to people."
"Yes I do. I have a tracker on you."
"What?"
"Not really. Dude, stay strong. Please."
Then she popped back out into the hallway.
"I can't Phineas." I felt lost. Broken. If Phineas left, I would break completely.
"Yes you can." The small smile that was always on his face was still there.
"No I can't."
"Please Isabella." He begged.
I looked down at him. "I'll miss you too much."
"I'll still see you. It will be like I'm still here. Trust me."
He winked and closed his eyes.
"Trust me." He whispered before his hand went limp.
I gave it a squeeze and put my head down on the bed next to Phineas.
I woke up and realized I would eventually have to go outside. Phineas' words rang in my head.
"I'll still see you. It'll be like I'm still here. Trust me."
"I trust you Phineas."
I walked out into the hall.
I made Phineas' death long and sad.
Heh heh. It is not Phineas' job to keep people from going insane from my comments.
This is my longest chapter ever. This sentence was on the eighth page of Microsoft Word.
I don't own Phineas and Ferb.
I'm crying. I'll cry for a little bit, eat a grilled cheese and feel better.
Carpe Diem,
IzzieGS
